For some a lesson in revenge is not enough to justify the decision to make such a drastic and schocking thing happen to one of the most beloved characters of all time in games.

Not my personal view on it but i understand how others can look at this and when there is so much backlash for that same thing then it raises the question if this was a bad direction or not.

I'll ask you a similar question.

What are some of the reasons you think Naughty Dog 1.) had that event happen 2.) at the stage it happened? (As in early in the game vs late in the game.)
What were they trying to convey, and how did the timing and execution of that scene affect this?

Lesson in revenge

is more vague. I'm looking for more elaborate analysis.

I want to compare my understanding to your guys. Because as I kept playing, I became less and less against the decision, and eventually felt like this was more or less the only way to do what they tried to do. Which I've never seen before in a game. Or perhaps any medium.

I was not responding to a question toward myself but just saying that i can understand it can be seen as that.

Understanding does not mean agreeing or defending,everyone has motivations for what they think and even when we not agree that does not mean we can not try to understand it.

Bolded: We can not give clear factual reasons with lack of inside information of that company,i myself think they made bad pacing decisions and did not put enough time into making us more sympathetic towards some of the characters before some gruesome events happened but the reasoning can only be assumed at this point .I'm also very much against things that players are forced to do like the Ellie,Nora situation but that is just me.

At the end i stopped caring for Ellie and wanted Abby to be safe,but only at the very end and i would have a slight problem with playing her for an extended amount of time because i'm personally very emotionally invested in a story.

Spoiler!
Lesson on how revenge does not pay off is what i meant,and that is the story,a very simple story and not implemented greatly imo
